Norman Arbuthnot: I'm the first to admit we took this country from the indians but what were they doing with it anyway; shooting off bows and arrows and using seashells for money.

Featured review
A bizarre comedy about political extremism.
I couldn't help but chuckle all the way throughout this film. As a pretty staunch conservative, I was admittedly a little intrigued by the stated plot. "How was Hollywood going to insult my beliefs this time," I thought to myself as I read the box at the video store. What I found was actually a pretty even-handed black comedy that disparages the craziness of any political extremism. In fact, I think the liberals got worse treatment here than the conservatives (a definite first in Hollywood).
The conservative characters were largely just caricatures of their real-life counterparts. This makes for a very humorous look into some commonly held beliefs on the right side of the aisle. The right-wing radio host was a ridiculous exaggeration of Rush Limbaugh.
But in the surprising end, it's the wacko liberals that are painted as hypocrites (as many of them often are).
Whatever your political ideologies, watch this film and place your tongue firmly in your cheek. It's a classical sleeper flick that deserves more notoriety.
